The Head Justice of Plus Nova Imperii is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Avgust Oktavian with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 9.353 billion Callistans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Callistagrad. The average income tax rate is 97.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Callistan economy, worth a remarkable 5,403 trillion Callistan Rubles a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is a breathtaking 577,694 Callistan Rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Government police forces protect public schools from the threat of protest, fishermen take out second mortgages to afford the yearly fishing permit, immigrants are required to salute the flag five times a day, and the 'sing-a-long with Avgust Oktavian' album is a popular souvenir. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Plus Nova Imperii's national animal is the Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Church of Callista.

Plus Nova Imperii is ranked 290,569^th in the world and 94^th in Callista for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1.47 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
